Nominations Open - Group Read for October 2019

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in October 2019?

If it's in a series, can it be easily read as a stand-alone? If not, you might want to nominate the first book in the series, or the most recent book in it the group has not read together.

Can't remember what we've already read as a group? (Sometimes I can't, either.) There's a "group-reads" shelf on the group's Bookshelf.

Two nominations to a person, please.

[Natalie]

I will nominate and .

[Christine]

I'd like to nominate and

[Claire]

I would like to nominate please.

[Silvia]

I'll nominateThe Turbulent Crown: The Story of the Tudor Queens and Nothing Like the Sun

[Haley]

I'll nominate The Men Who Would Be King by Josephine Ross

[William]

Hello,

I will nominate by Michael K. Jones (no photo). I will also nominate by Christopher Hibbert . This book exams the full history of the Medici Family. This is relevant since, Pope Clement VII who caused so much heartache for poor Henry VIII is a Medici.

[Dean]

I'm going to selfishly nominate my new historical fiction release Thieves' Castle, if that is permitted!

I've read The House of Medici and it has nothing to do with the Tudors. So you have another nomination, William.

Dean, I see that is the second in the series. Is it readable as a standalone?

[William]

I will make my 2nd nomination by John Julius Norwich .

[William]

Hello Susanna,

I have not read "The House of Medici." Was it any good?

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

It's been a while since I read it; I believe I would say it answered my questions, but I wasn't enthralled.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Now would be a good time to make any last minute nominations, as I'll probably be opening the poll later today.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Alright, I will nominate Liza Picard's Elizabeth's London: Everyday Life in Elizabethan London, and Murder by Misrule, by Anna Castle.

And with that I close nominations.
